People planning their funeral in Bristol can now book to make their final journey in the hearse that carried Sir Winston Churchill to his final resting place.
Millions of people around the world watched the Austin Princess - registration number BLE 704B - drive up and take Churchill’s coffin from Festival Pier to Waterloo Station in sombre scenes at his funeral in January 1965.
The vehicle has now been restored and is being put to work once again to carry coffins by the Bristol Memorial Woodlands funeral directors that operate at the green burial ground and nature reserve in Alveston, on the edge of Bristol.
